Tabletop Installation
To install the communications server (standalone) as a tabletop device, follow the
steps below.
1.
Connect a ThinWire cable, T-connector, and terminator to the BNC connector
on the communications server as shown in Figure 2-1. Connect the other
end of the ThinWire cable to an active ThinWire outlet such as a faceplate or
other appropriate network device.
2.
Optionally, attach a device configured to the settings listed in Table 2–2
to the console port (default is port 1) using a cable terminated with an
MJ8-compatible (RJ45) plug.
3.
Plug the DC power connector into the power inlet on the communications
server.
4.
Plug the communications server power supply cord into an AC wall outlet and
verify that the power LED on the communications server lights.
5.
Refer to ‘‘Running Self-Tests’’ in this chapter, and verify that the
communications server has successfully run all of the self-tests.
Note
An illustration of the communications server hardware and descriptions of
the LED indicators are provided in the ‘‘Overview’’ section of this manual.
Figure 2–1 shows the communications server installed as a standalone device.
